Soccer Picks: Bayern Munich vs. Eintracht Braunshweig

Has there been more of a foregone conclusion than this match up in Germany’s top flight. Bayern Munich host Eintracht Braunschweig with everything pointing to a home win, so you’ll need your Humble Handicapper to help you see where the money lies.

The past

First off let’s talk about a
little bit of history, Eintracht Braunschweig have never before beaten Bayern
Munich on their home soil, never.

The soccer odds are stacked
heavily in the Bavarians' favour, and it makes little difference that captain
Philipp Lahm has been ruled out due to a hamstring injury. The bookies have a
home win at 1/12, an away win at 50/1 and draw at 14/1.

What’s more the shortest correct
score odds are on 3-0 at 5/1, followed by 4-0 at 6/1. The shortest correct
score odds on an away win are on 1-0 at 60/1, which is about the same soccer
odds as the home side winning 8-0.

It gets worse inside the
sportsbooks for Eintracht Braunschweig. The odds on Bayern winning both halves
are 1/3.

If you’re wondering why, it’s
because despite their fitness issues, Bayern are practically unstoppable this
season and they thrashed Borussia Dortmund 3-0 at Signal Iduna Park in their
last league outing. That result put them four points clear at the Bundesliga
summit.

Traveling light

The visitors have picked up just
four points away from home all season, (that’s half of their eight-point total), but as their record at Bayern is; won
none and lost 14, of their last 18 trips to Bavaria, they won’t expect much.

Bayern have won their last five straight
and Eintracht have won one in their last five.

In fact Bayern have won 11 out of
the 13 league games they have played this season, drawn two and not lost any.
It’s not going to start this weekend. Also they have clocked up 30 goals and
conceded just seven

Bayern have scored 12 in their
last five and conceded two. They have
also won their two of their last three games by the same scoreline, 3-0 and the
other was 3-1. If you want to bet on them getting another 3 goal game the
soccer odds on 3-0 are 5/1 and 3-1 is at 11/1, but don’t bother with 3-2 at 100/1
as I can’t see Eintracht getting one goal – let alone two.

Eintracht Braunschweig by
comparison have nothing in their last two games and have only managed to find
the back of the opposition net three times in their last five games.

Bayern clearly have proven themselves to be a top pick in all the Bundesliga, and our soccer pick for this particular match-up.
